Before the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday, Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan shared a witty reaction to a viral moment on social media. During a chat, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar mistakenly mentioned Abhishek Bachchan instead of cricketer Abhishek Sharma. Known for his humour on X (formerly Twitter), Bachchan responded with a playful remark, joking about his cricket skills and giving fans a light-hearted laugh.

Pakistan coach Mike Hesson asked his team to focus only on cricket. After beating Bangladesh by 11 runs, he said off-field issues should not distract the players. Hesson added that while emotions are normal in big matches, the main focus is to play well and stay disciplined on Sunday.
